Today, I think a CFO needs to be more of an operating CFO: someone who's using the financial data and the data of the company to help drive strategy, the allocation of capital, and the management of risks.

You learn a lot about yourself when you have success for a while. Like, a lot of things that you think are really important aren't. But you need that process.

I have only one understanding of development and of making success, and that's by going step by step.

Immigrants provide skills that we simply cannot afford to do without. They have contributed hugely to Britain's success.

Give me a couple of years, and I'll make that actress an overnight success.
